Setup

Your cookware set may require minor assembly for handles and lids. Please follow these steps:

Handle Assembly

Attach the Bakelite handles to the designated pans. Ensure the screws are tightened securely using the provided tool. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the handle or pan.

Lid Assembly

For lids with detachable knobs, assemble the knob to the glass lid by aligning the screw and tightening it. Ensure the silicone ring is properly placed for a secure fit and to prevent steam leakage.

Operating Instructions

Before First Use

Wash all cookware pieces thoroughly with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry completely. For optimal non-stick performance, it is recommended to season the pans by rubbing a thin layer of cooking oil on the non-stick surface and heating it over low heat for a few minutes, then letting it cool and wiping clean with a paper towel.

Cooktop Compatibility

CAROTE cookware is designed for use on all cooktops, including gas, electric, and induction. The extended bottom design ensures quick and even heat distribution across the cooking surface.

Non-Stick Performance

The cookware features a top-level, harder nonstick granite material with 10x Ultra Non-stick performance, free of PFOA, PFOS, LEAD, and Cadmium. This ensures safer and healthier cooking with minimal sticking, making food release effortless.

Heat Management

Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the excellent heat conductivity of the aluminum construction. Avoid overheating empty pans.

Utensils

Use silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Metal utensils are not recommended as they can scratch or damage the coating.

Maintenance & Care

Cleaning

While the cookware is listed as dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and overall lifespan of your pans. For hand washing, use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface.

Storage

To prevent scratches and damage to the non-stick surface, place a soft cloth or pan protectors between stacked pans. Store lids separately or use lid organizers to maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Food Sticking

Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid using cooking sprays that can leave a residue and affect non-stick performance over time. If the non-stick coating appears worn, re-seasoning the pan may help restore some of its properties.

Uneven Heating

Verify that the cookware is centered on the heat source. Ensure the heat setting is appropriate for the task; excessive heat can lead to uneven cooking and potential damage to the pan.

Handle Loosening

If handles become loose, gently re-tighten the screws using the appropriate tool. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the screws or damage the handle.
